Minecraft plugin BlueSlimeCore

🔌 About BlueSlimeCore

BlueSlimeCore — is a library plugin for Minecraft servers that provides APIs, utilities, and developer features required by other plugins. BlueSlimeCore is intended to be installed as a server library to enable shared features and reduce duplicated code across plugins.

🎯 Purpose

BlueSlimeCore solves the problem of duplicated utility code and inconsistent APIs between plugins by providing a central library with common systems (configuration, language, menu API, item builders, version handling). BlueSlimeCore is targeted at server owners who run multiple custom or third‑party plugins and plugin developers who want a stable core API. ()

⚙ Main features

• Library / API for other plugins (configuration management, language management, menu API). ()
• Utility methods for items, entities, block/location handling, and version compatibility helpers. ()
• Server commands: /item-to-nbt, /item-to-base64, /debug-event (server utilities to inspect items and plugin event listeners). ()
• Support for Spigot, Paper and Folia; multiversion helpers for different NMS versions. BlueSlimeCore requires Java 21. ()

🧩 Who it's for

• Plugin developers who want a shared library for menus, language, and utilities.
• Server administrators running multiple custom plugins that depend on a common core library.
• Projects that need multiversion compatibility and helper utilities across Minecraft versions. ()

🏗 Usage examples

• A developer uses BlueSlimeCore's menu API and language system to add localized GUI menus to their plugin.
• A server installs BlueSlimeCore to provide shared item conversion tools (/item-to-base64) and debug commands for staff.
• A plugin integrates BlueSlimeCore to reuse the configuration loading system and update checking features. ()

🔐 Permissions

⚙ Installation

📥 Install

• Download the BlueSlimeCore .jar from the official resource (Spigot / GitHub releases) and place it into your server's plugins/ folder. ()
• Fully restart the server (do not rely on /reload).
• Verify the plugin loads without errors in server console.

📦 Dependencies

• Java 21 is required. ()
• Supports Spigot, Paper and Folia (no other platform dependencies are required by default). ()
• Optional integrations: PlaceholderAPI support is mentioned in the project's feature list (used by the language system) — check documentation if you need placeholders. ()

🧾 Configuration

• BlueSlimeCore provides a configuration management system (repository includes configuration utilities). The plugin will create its configuration files/folders when first run; specific config keys depend on the plugin version. Consult the source or shipped config files for exact options. ()
• Database: official sources do not list MySQL/SQLite as required; BlueSlimeCore is primarily a library (database usage depends on plugins using the library). Information about built‑in DB support is not provided in the main README. ()

🧠 Additional information

Known conflicts / limitations

• BlueSlimeCore is a library: conflicts are rare, but plugins using different versions of the same library or overlapping API hooks may require matching BlueSlimeCore versions across plugins. ()
• Officially supported Minecraft versions are limited — the project lists recommended/tested versions (examples include 1.19.4, 1.20.6, 1.21.10). Other versions may work but are not tested. ()

FAQ

Q: Does BlueSlimeCore collect anonymous statistics (bStats)? A: Yes — the plugin is listed on bStats, indicating it uses bStats for telemetry. ()

Q: Is BlueSlimeCore required for other plugins by the same author? A: Yes — many of the author's plugins require BlueSlimeCore as a core library; install BlueSlimeCore if other SirBlobman plugins list it as a dependency. ()

Q: Does BlueSlimeCore support multi‑server proxy setups (Bungee/Velocity)? A: BlueSlimeCore lists bungeecord/topic tags and provides utilities for different environments, but proxy support details depend on the specific plugin usage. Test in staging before production. ()

Q: Where to get support? A: Official support is provided via the project's GitHub (issues/wiki) and the author's Discord as listed in the README. ()

🤝 When to use BlueSlimeCore

Use BlueSlimeCore when you need a stable, tested library to share common systems (menus, language, configuration, item utilities) across multiple plugins or when using plugins that explicitly depend on the BlueSlimeCore API. ()
